[0028] Rubber sealing bands 5 are provided between the two ends of the sleeve assembly 6 and the steel pipe 3 to be repaired. There are two groups of rubber sealing bands 5, which are respectively provided at both ends of the sleeve assembly 6. A buckle 12 is provided on each group of tie straps 4 for sealing and locking them;
[0029] Tie straps 4 are connected between the sleeve assembly 6 and the steel pipe 3 to be repaired; epoxy resin 14 is filled between the sleeve assembly 6 and the steel pipe 3 to be repaired;
[0030] One end of the steel pipe 3 to be repaired is connected to an air compressor 1. The air compressor 1 and the steel pipe 3 to be repaired are connected through a conveying pipeline, and a first valve 2 is arranged between the conveying pipelines.
[0031] The other end of the steel pipe 3 to be repaired is connected to a pressure and temperature monitor 10. A second valve 9 is arranged on the conveying pipeline connecting the pressure and temperature monitor 10 and the steel pipe 3 to be repaired.
[0032] Specifically, the testing device proposed in this embodiment locks the upper sleeve 6-1 and the lower sleeve 6-2 through bolts 7, and injects epoxy resin 14 between the steel pipe 3 to be repaired and the sleeve assembly 6.
[0033] During the test, gas is injected into the steel pipe 3 to be repaired through the air compressor 1. The sleeve assembly 6 and the steel pipe 3 to be repaired are locked and sealed through the settings of cable ties 4 and rubber sealing tapes 5. The pressure data of the injected gas is displayed through the pressure and temperature monitor 10.

The second coat can be applied after the first coat is surface dry. The total thickness shall not be less than 800μm. After the coating is completed, 3PE anticorrosion is carried out. During the process, special thickening treatment is carried out on the bolt parts to prevent leakage points from occurring; after the coating is dry, the sleeve assembly 6 and the anticorrosive coatings on the pipelines on both sides of the sleeve assembly 6 are subjected to spark testing with a voltage of 5000V. If leakage points are found, they shall be repaired in time, and the leakage points shall be detected again after the repaired area is dry until the anticorrosive coating completely passes the spark testing.
